Start here and follow along
- Roll six to leave the yard.
- Move an eligible token by the die value; home requires an exact roll.
- Capture opponents on non-safe squares.
- Six, capture and finishing a token grant another roll; a third consecutive six forfeits that roll.
The controls to know
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.
Follow the example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
A common point of confusion
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
